legally well treatment providers must make "allowances" or *** the american disabilities act states "accommodations" for the handicapped that may be physically or mentally challenged. but beyond that legally no treatment providers do not have to make allowances for their clients.

example a therapist must make sure where they see their clients its handicapped accessible (a ramp or elevator if the building where the therapy session is held has stairs.)

but a therapist does not have to go to the clients home if the client doesnt want to go out in public because they are in a wheelchair.

a therapists job is to help the client work through their problems not enable them to stay stuck in their problems, to be more independent, to be able to function on their own in the community.

Example sometimes when I go through my depression I dont want and have trouble getting to my therapists office, I just dont feel comfortable waiting in the waiting room. Id rather meet my therapist in my home or some quiet isolated pace. My therapist refuses to do this for me...why because that would be catering to and increase that depressive symptom of isolation. my therapists job isnt to isolate me more, its to help me to think differently about my problem and to help me to find ways to not isolate myself.
